Although he was called a professor, he was only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was exceptionally tall and handsome, and his sharp suit added to his charm. Moreover, he was accompanied by several other tall and handsome military officers. So, although he had only come twice, he was already very well remembered by the people around him.
When Chu Nian rode her old bicycle to the gate of her yard, she noticed that many neighbors were hiding in the yard, peeking through the cracks in the gate.
The professor was peering curiously through the somewhat dilapidated courtyard wall when he heard the car. He turned around and saw a girl in an ordinary school uniform riding a bicycle toward him under the dim streetlights.
She was riding her car very fast when she suddenly stopped in front of him, startling several tall bodyguards who almost rushed up to her.
The professor watched as the girl didn't get off the car, but barely touched the ground with the tip of one foot to keep the car from tipping over. Her beautiful, bright eyes, as bright as stars, were openly scrutinizing him, and the professor felt a strange flutter in his heart.
He coughed lightly and asked, "Excuse me, do you know Ling Nian?"
Chu Nian answered, "That's me." She paused, then asked, "Are you Tan Yunqi?"
Tan Yunqi, Ling Nian's mentor and husband in her first life, appears to outsiders as an engineering designer at a key national research institute, but in reality, he is a secret military personnel.
Therefore, when he goes out, he is always accompanied by a group of agents, both overt and covert. This is especially true since the matter he is about to handle involves the programming of a certain important modern weapon system, which is of great importance not only to the country but also to the entire world.
Chu Nian tried to get off the bicycle, but the seat was a bit high off the ground, making it really... difficult for her to get off!
Seeing that she had tried twice to get off the car, which was much longer than many women's legs these days, and the car almost tipped over, Tan Yunqi almost burst out laughing and unconsciously reached out to help Chu Nian steady the car.
Chu Nian felt a little embarrassed because he had steadied the car, and she finally got out of it successfully. With a dark face, she questioned, "What are you laughing at?"
Tan Yunqi's smile immediately froze.
Chu Nian simply tossed the car to him and said, "Push it into the yard for me." Then she opened the gate and went into the yard herself.
Tan Yunqi stood there, feeling a bit awkward in the night wind. Seeing his men secretly laughing made him even more embarrassed, so he ordered with a dark face, "Push it into the yard!" With a slight effort, the bicycle was pushed to the nearest of his men.
Tan Yunqi turned around and strode into the courtyard in a few steps. He followed Chu Nian into the house and found that the furniture inside was extremely simple. Books were piled up everywhere, on the floor, on the table and on the shelves.
He glanced at the books and immediately noticed that many of them involved the most cutting-edge technologies.
He asked curiously, "Little girl, if I'm not mistaken, you should still be in high school!"
Chu Nian said, "Yes!"
Tan Yunqi: "Can you understand these books?"
Chu Nian: What do you think?
Tan Yunqi: "The code in the letter you sent me was..."
Chu Nian said with a hint of pride, "I figured it out."
Tan Yunqi: "How did you know to send these things to me?"
Chu Nian raised her chin and pointed to a stack of books on the table next to her. The top one was a science magazine. She said, "It introduces you in this."
Tan Yunqi understood and then asked, "Are all high school students this capable these days?"
Chu Nian: "It's just that I'm good at it."
Hearing her boastful words, Tan Yunqi couldn't help but smile again. He asked, "What is your purpose?"
Chu Nian: "I would like to ask you to be my mentor."
Tan Yunqi raised an eyebrow.
Chu Nian: "What, is that not allowed?"
Tan Yunqi: "If you could get into the Capital Military Academy..."
Chu Nian: "I want to join your research institute right now."
Tan Yunqi was taken aback.
Chu Nian continued, "In addition, I have another condition, which is that I hope to establish a software development base in the Zhegushan area where my hometown is located."
Once this high-tech base is built, it will inevitably boost the surrounding economy and trade; moreover, a large number of high-tech talents will definitely move in, and these people will also bring about a great change in the atmosphere of this area, and people's thinking will naturally change as well.
Tan Yunqi sneered, "What makes you think we'll agree to your joining? You haven't even graduated high school yet! And you actually dare to make demands?!"
Chu Nian took out a pile of scratch paper, which was covered with calculation steps, and said, "Just these."
Tan Yunqi was startled again, and reached out to take the pile of arithmetic papers to examine the contents.
But Chu Nian pulled her hand back and dodged it.
Tan Yunqi: "If you don't show it to me, how will I know if your questions will meet our research institute's requirements?"
Chu Nian pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, I suppose someone as important as you wouldn't stole my research results." After saying that, he handed over a stack of draft paper.
Tan Yunqi flipped through the documents and said, "There are no results..."
Chu Nian: "The outcome is in my hands."
Tan Yunqi got angry as soon as he heard this, put his hands behind his back, and scolded, "You girl, you have a problem with your attitude!"
Chu Nian asked with a smile, "May I ask how many days it will take you to give me an answer?"
Tan Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with the leaders." He then turned to leave.
Chu Nian said leisurely, "Your Excellency, taking those calculation processes is useless to you. There are still many steps to go before you get the result. Unless there is someone among you who is more capable than me, it will take at least three years to deduce it."
In Ling Nian's first life, it was three years later that Tan Yunqi and his team deduced the results of the research project, before Ling Nian had become Tan Yunqi's mentor. However, after Ling Nian married Tan Yunqi, she heard him talk about many things from the early days of the research institute.
Tan Yunqi coughed lightly, feeling quite embarrassed. He turned around and threw the pile of calculation papers on the table, saying, "I didn't say I was going to take them!" Then he quickly strode away.
Hearing the little girl's giggles behind him, his face flushed red with embarrassment. As soon as he stepped outside, one of his subordinates asked in a low voice, "Commander Tan, what happened?"
Tan Yunqi said irritably, "Why ask so many questions? Hurry up and go back to the capital."
Chu Nian knew very well that Tan Yunqi would reply to her soon, and it was unlikely that he would refuse her conditions.
Three years may not seem like a long time, but for a country, completing this project three years ahead of schedule will mean a major leap forward in its military power, potentially making it a military superpower with achievements that other countries can only dream of.
